Christ doesn’t just make up the difference. He makes all the difference.

During times of discouragement, we must remember that the purpose of the Atonement of Jesus Christ is not just to cleanse and console, but also to transform — and that takes time. Christ is not waiting at the finish line once we have done "all we can do." He is with us every step of the way, and His Atonement will be available as long as the perfecting process takes — continually. This book offers valuable insights about God, Christ, and our relationship with them.

Each chapter contains clear examples that will uplift and motivate. Profound doctrine is made accessible and difficult concepts are presented in such simple ways that over and over the reader will say, "I've never thought of it like that before." That kind of change of belief will help bring about a change of behavior.

Peace is found not by giving up or erasing the need to change, but by turning to the One who makes change possible and realizing that we get lots of chances to start again. So, if at first you don't succeed either, don't find excuses. Find the Savior and the blessings of His continuous Atonement.

I own this book and I l♥ve it! Brad was so kind to contribute a copy of this beautiful book for me to give away on my blog. To enter please leave a comment on this post by Wed. April 22nd and I will post the winner on Thurs. April 23rd. Good luck everyone :)

The title of this book and also the talk CD really caught my eye because I have struggled for years in a certain area that really gets me down sometimes and so after reading about the book and CD I felt I should and would really like to get both and read and listen and that it might help. It would also be nice to be able to share with and help others with this too.
